Hi Guys,
I've been wanting to get hands-on with one of these watches for a very long time. The Reverso range is one of my all-time favourite watch ranges and JLC are one of my favourite watch brands.
I haven't really spent time with a Reverso yet as there are so many variants and none of them really stood out to me until I visited Mappin and Webb in Glasgow and saw this stunning Reverso Classic Duoface Small Seconds Ref. 2458422.
The tan leather strap on this Reverso by Casa Fagliano really makes the watch. It tones it down making it slightly less dressy. I think it looks great.
Let me know what you guys think.

Its one of the best looking reversos. I‘m a proud owner of this model. It cames with a black alligator strap which is nice but i had to add the brown fagliano strap. This brown strap gives the watch a much sportier character but its elegant at the same time. After one month of owning this piece i couldn‘t be happier. Its just a awesome awesome watch.

Saw this in person and had the exact same reaction. The strap enables it to be casual, but if you dress up, you're still wearing a Reverso, so it works. You've also nailed the description of the action of flipping it. So satisfying. I'd never really thought about owning a Reverso, but now, having tried one on, it's shot to the top of my list.

I’m a proud owner of a Reverso Medium Small Second. I wear it more as a normal sports watch and not as a dress watch only. As you said a brown leather strap dressed it down for a more casual wear. And the medium size is worn much better on my 18.5 centimetres wrist than the large version. I’m quite happy with my Reverso. The next step for me is going to be a nice engraving for the backside.

I scratched mine the day I got it (taking washing out of the washing machine 🤦🏻‍♂️) but since then (over a year ago), it doesn’t have any scratches. I think on most watches the bracelet and clasp take most punishment and with leather straps (I change mine a lot as I have lots of coloured suede straps along with the brown, black and ostrich leather) you don’t get the same wear and tear.

I own a Cartier Tank Anglaise and wear it every day whatever I am wearing. To me it is not just a dress watch and I love it dearly. I am not a watch collector and the idea of having more than one exclusive watch has always seemed an unwarranted extravagance. However, I have recently discovered the JLC Reverso and, frankly, I want one. I love the simple elegance, similar in many ways to my Cartier Tank, but that leather strap really does suit the JLC Reverso and makes me wonder if I could justify a purchase as a more casual wear watch for dress down days.

Love your casual, down-to-earth attitude and great video. I am actually looking at the Reverso Classic Medium right now, not the Duo face but the regular model. And I agree with everything you say about the watch. Especially about the strap. It really kind of tones down the more elegant side of the watch but still remains classy and elegant looking. I wear exactly the same style clothing as you do in the video, plus a 23-year-old leather bomber jacket, and the watch looks absolutely amazing with that. It is so versatile. When I first tried it on, I was wearing my 47mm Panerai Luminor, and I had absolutely no problem transitioning to the Reverso. My first Reverso is the Burgundy Red dial Tribute model, which was announced last year at SIHH 2019. I absolutely love it, but it is just a different level than the Classic. And I never want to part with it, although it is not perhaps quite as versatile as the Classic. And it is the same size as the Large Classic, but works better for some reason. Your observation about the Large Classic is spot on, I just think it is a bit too large for this type of watch, although my wrist size of 7.25in can accommodate it very well. I have tried on the Classic so many times, including today, and now your video has completely sold me on it. Although I do realize you don't work for the company! Thanks again and Cheers to you, Carl

I've don't know what it is about the Reverso either, but it surely is, in spades. I am likewise in that position in the numbers game, i.e. as much as I love them, I probably won't have one. In fact this tends to happen with JLC's in general. Polaris Chrono (or not), Master Control, Ultra-Thin Moon, all oozing purity and sheer class beyond their price points, I'd love to have them, and they're always in the running. But it seems there's always another trigger that itches a little more, especially for a working stiff like me. Unless I just wore a Reverso casual; it is a sports watch after all... We'll see. I'm almost sure I wouldn't regret it. Though, I never do, not even close. I want so many more than I can have that I'm still in the shallow end of the A list.

Before 2018 I would agree the medium Reverso is the perfect size. I tried on a large non-duo face classic Reverso (45mm lug to lug 27mm wide, 20mm lugs) and it wears much better than the medium. I see the medium very small. The meduim is perfect for guys with wrists smaller than 6 & 1/2 inches. Now the large duo face Reverso is huge 47/48mm length 28mm wide. That one looks too big. The classic large is the sweet spot at 45mm lug to lug, 27mm wide, 20mm lug width.

Hi, my friend! I have recently purchased a Hometime Squadra Reverso. White dial, skeleton back. It is a pre-owned, excellent condition with box and papers. At first, I was taken aback. After ten minutes of wearing this wrist art! I was taken in by its beauty, the white dial with guiloche and silver enhancements, black numbers and hands. I fell for this little gem, wore it for ten straight days, except to shower. It wears perfectly on my wrist (7.5), just so very comfortably with no annoyance of being there what so ever. I am sleeved (Tattooed) on both arms, looks great, wears great! This has become my true wrist art, gem!!! Thank You for the video!

For me, the Reverso is the perfect watch. I’m not moved by the marketing machine of Rolex, nor do I have faux aspirations of conquering mountain peaks, celestial bodies or extreme oceanic depths. The Reverso hails from authentic Art Deco culture, it’s understated and quietly elegant. It doesn’t try to be something more than the sum of its parts. It has become my sole watch, after a roster of other models and complications...and I am very content with that. The simpler, the better.

Yeah, these are absolutely cracking dress watches. I got the Reverso Tribute small seconds a few months back. It has a blue Fagliano _designed_ strap (it says 'made in France'. so it's evidently not actually produce of the Fagliano workshop.) It's one of those that you immediately know to be a 'keeper' in the collection - the only other such one for me this year has been my broad arrow 1953 RAF Omega.

Thanks Adrian, I also like the JLC reverso but felt the same it's to formal to sit in my collection until you dropped this clip. I've watched this 3 times now haha and have to own this watch. It's just awesome and cannot wait for collection day which for the record will be 9 to 12 mths. 👍

That strap ! Totally changes the whole vibe... beautiful... The shots where you put your hand in the jeans pocket, immediately conjured mental images from Dick Francis novels....of wealthy, casually dressed race horse trainers, strolling the stables and checking on the horses. I had no idea the reverso was tied to Polo. Really enjoyed the video ! All the best....

Your video was very helpful. I was able to get a 2 year old watch with box and papers from a private seller. After wearing it for 2 days, I have to say that it is easy to wear. I had a Cartier Tank Francaise in steel as my everyday watch, want to keep it and I didn‘t expect that I would get used to the Reverso so quick. I think, the Duoface offers great value in comparison to the regular Reverso with the steel back, because I can get a second dial for an additional € 2‘500.

An incredible watch, possibly the best value of all iconic luxury watches. I have this version and it wears great casually on the CF (style) strap featured- and also works great with coloured suede straps to mix it up a bit in the summer. I even picked up a beads of rice bracelet which looks great.

Honestly it does. It's hard to explain but it just feels really substantial/high quality when handled. The reversing mechanism is also really high quality/satisfying. Not a great explanation I know but they were my initial thoughts

Love the video. I tried on both models in the video in the same shop 3 weeks ago, shout out to Mary for looking after me. I totally agree that the medium size is the one to go for. My dream JLC is the Tribute Duo 399 84 20, I prefer the cleaner face with no numerals. Dream dress watch.

Adrian, nailed this review. I tried on a Reverso and was disappointed because it didn't suit me. I think the medium size, coupled with the dressed down look nails it. I will take another look

Hey man!! So the thing I've come to learn about the straps is that the calf ones are designed by Fagliano, but not actually made by them (since Shell is horse leather and not calf). The calf ones that are a part of the collection are almost definitely made by Camille Fournet (who are based out of France, hence the signature). Fournet makes the straps on the Polaris line as well. It's something I think JLC would do well with being a bit clearer on because it definitely gives the impression that because it looks that way, that it's made by them, when in reality only Tribute to 1931 models come equipped with actual Fagliano straps. #TheMoreYouKnow

Great review Adrian. I wanted a Reverso more than anything and bought one about 15 years ago and regretted it immediately. Never meet your hero.... It was on a steel strap and just didn’t suit me at all. On the calfskin strap it looks gorgeous, it’s a beautiful watch - but I just can’t carry it off.
